Holy cow! Ok so, i collected the clues and coords a few weeks ago while my family was in town waiting for 'the Big Weekend' fireworks, but by the time I finished my walk around the Piece it was getting dark and time for the show, so I tucked 'em away for later.
Today I went back for the GZ. I ambled around casually, not seeing an obvious hiding place, but LOTS of muggles. On my 4th lap or so, I started to wonder if my coords were wrong. But then another couple of geocachers moved in so I was reassured I at least had the right GZ. I opted to retreat for a while and let them have a go.
When I re-approached from across the way I spotted them chatting with a local fella who had been trimming his hedges. They left shortly after, looking disappointed.
After another amble, the same local approached me and said 'you won't find it. we've had people looking for about 2 weeks and nobody finds it.' I am now starting to get worried. Maybe it had been muggled? But I just couldn't give it up.
In the end, my persistence paid off. I still don't know what the clue meant, altho lots of ppl said it helped. What worked for me was tying my shoes... a lot! And in truth, the coordinates were bang on. So I don't know why it was such a struggle but was VERY satisfying in the end.
Very happy to have finally completed my first multi-cache! Tftc
